Unai Emery hails Arsenal for 'growing up under pressure' after Europa win

Aiming to become just the second team in Europa League history to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit, after Fulham against Juventus in 2010, Arsenal took no time at all to level up the tie on aggregate.

Nevertheless, Emery said the Champions League, Europe's premier club competition, was not his only focus because the Europa League - which he won three times in a row from 2014 to 2016 as manager of Sevilla - also provides the chance for silverware.

Rennes certainly threatened throughout, but just simply didn't have the quality at the back to cope with Arsenal's attacking play. Regarding the Lacazette decision, the commission decided that his elbow against BATE was only worth a two-game ban.
